With the crowds they pull at other fests that I've seen (via Youtube), namely Coachella and now Primavera, I have a feeling The Other Tent is going to be overflowing... am I right, am I wrong? Perhaps there is enough draw to other tents/stages that it won't be so bad.

In all fairness, there is zero going on right now (with the exception of a local band playing on the equivalency of the Which). It's gonna be packed, but not this packed.

I foresee a huuuuuuuuuuuuge clusterfuck. Swans won't pull much away from them, because they are more of a niche act, and I think because the National starts a bit later that people may try to see both.

I am going to be in the other tent all day to get close (and because I am a huge fan of everything over there).

A lot of people will be at Which watching Edward Sharpe when Tame Impala starts (luckly Edward Sharpe don't play Home until the last/second to last song - so people will watch the entire set). But otherwise Tame Impala could have as many people as the National and Tame Impala is playing first, meaning people will go Tame > National.

My advice - if you really love Tame Impala - watch all of Holy Ghost! and try to move as close as possible for Tame Impala at 5:31 PM. I think if you get there by 6 PM you'll be back by the beer vendor.

This was possibly my favorite show of all time. Close with Radiohead from last year. I was about 5 people back, front and center and the show and crowd were both just amazing. I have been to a lot of shows, but all of the bets crowds I have ever been in have been at Roo, it is part of what makes it so magical to me. Really looking forward to seeing where they end up going from here.

Also, as someone asked above, I would love to see a recording of Half Full Glass of Wine. The end of that was just an amazing moment with the crowd being insanely into it. Was a pleasure being at this show with you guys.

They have big things in their future. I'm excited. I think they'll have the popularity as well. They've combined the rock crowd (got that '70s feel), the jam crowd (psychedelic, sound good on drugs), and the indie crowd (Pitchfork approved!).
